Pixologic Ships ZBrush 1.55b

By Dave Nagel

Pixologic has released an update to ZBrush, its 2D, 2.5D and 3D painting and modeling tool. The new version gains several feature enhancements, as well as native Mac OS X support (in addition to Mac OS 8.6 and higher and Windows). It's available now.

ZBrush is a program that integrates 2D and 3D creative tools into a single environment. Users can paint in real time with depth and texture using a 2.5D technology called "Pixols" and can model and sculpt with 3D elements. The new version adds improvements to texture controls, expanded online help and code improvements.

ZBrush 1.55b is a free update for registered users of previous versions. The full version runs $399 and is available for Mac OS 9, Mac OS X and Windows. For more information, visit http://pixologic.com.
